My New Guitar

Since we had nothing planned for the day today we had a long walk in the sunshine this morning and decided to head off to a few recycle shops this afternoon. Recycle shops are second hand shops and are quite big over here. They usually have a fair-sized music section and a good bit of bargain retro clothing so Mike and I both like them.
I have been toying with the idea of buying a cheap acoustic guitar as I miss playing my strat a bit and it's good to have a hobby. I almost left without trying this one as it was a bit more than I wanted to pay and I felt too much like it was a whim. But I have always wanted a Gibson (I blame Hannah) and this was such a beautiful replica. So after four credit cards failed we managed to get the cash and purchase my little beauty. Now it has been well researched by the resident expert and he's decided it may well be from 1978 and is a star buy. He would've bought it himself had he known what it was. But sadly for him it is mine-all mine!
Tonight it is an eel restaurant with new friends.
Much love, Jo xxx
